Sense Dessert Café

Sense Dessert Café located at Shop 6-8, Wah Chi Building, 286-294 Temple Street, Jordan in Hong Kong

Oct 1, 2016 – Sense Dessert Café.

It was finally time to explore a local foodie shop of my choice!!! All during this trip, I hadn’t had the chance to eat out at a restaurant that I truly wanted to try for the sake of being a foodie. To me, that means that the food is probably highly “instagramable”, the food is trendy, and the restaurant is worth the experience. Thus, when I checked out the local restaurants that were the area we were staying at, Sense Dessert Café popped up and we came here for a late lunch. 🙂 Continue reading →

Brunch at the Drake Hotel

Posted on January 25, 2017 by stenoodie

The Drake Hotel located at 1150 Queen St W in Toronto

A few of my university friends and I decided to have brunch to reunite and catch up. We voted and The Drake Hotel topped the list of a good weekend brunch spot.

I arrived here after 11 a.m. and my friends were already here. The hostess led us throughout the hotel lobby to the back dining room where we received a large booth table for our brunch. Continue reading →

Hidden Burger

Hidden Burger located at 22 Front Street West (inside The Bottom Line) in Toronto

I was invited to try the infamous burgers at Hidden Burger, known as Toronto’s worst kept secret, by the owner Chef Mo. I had actually heard about Hidden Burger from two other food blogger friends during the summer last year but never had the chance to check it out. To my surprise and delight, when Chef Mo contacted me about trying his burgers, I was more than happy to oblige! Continue reading →

Zen Café & Lounge located at 9425 Leslie St in Richmond Hill

This was the perfect place to have a romantic date. Right after our dinner at Ichiban Fish House, we were strolling down the hallway at Richlane Mall towards Full House Desserts when we heard some loud music playing. We peeked into Zen Café & Lounge and it turned out that they had a live band playing! We decided on a whim to go inside and enjoy the live music and café. Continue reading →

Ichiban Fish House Japanese Restaurant

Ichiban Fish House Japanese Restaurant located at 9425 Leslie Street in Richmond Hill

It was a late Friday night and since the babe hadn’t eaten dinner yet, I accompanied him to have sushi at Ichiban Fish House Japanese Restaurant. This Japanese restaurant is located inside Richlane Mall and apparently is one of the oldest Japanese restaurants that has occupied this spot. We were one of two last customers of the day since it was almost 10 p.m. when we arrived and the restaurant closed at 11 p.m. Continue reading →

I had the pleasure to be invited to Uncle Tetsu’s Unionville Markham location to taste their brand new cheesecakes, Sakura flavour and Yuzu flavour, exclusive to this location only.

Full House Desserts

Posted on January 21, 2017 by stenoodie

Full House Desserts located at 9425 Leslie Street, Unit 12 in Richmond Hill

I’ve always wanted to visit Full House Desserts (滿記甜品) for their durian pancake dessert but because it is only open from 7 p.m. until midnight every day (closed on Wednesdays), I have actually never been able to try their sweet creations. It just never happened that I was around this area for dinner or wanted to step in just for their dessert. Continue reading →

Weekly Photo Challenge: Graceful

Posted on January 20, 2017 by stenoodie

Rainbow Springs, New Zealand. April 2015

In my quick search for a fitting photo for this week’s challenge, I came across this photo very quickly. This was taken in New Zealand inside Rainbow Springs in Rotorua on our third day in the country. We were touring around the facility, a kiwi wildlife park, and there was a peaceful pond with these ducks just waddling about. Continue reading →

Dim Sum at Casa Victoria

Posted on January 19, 2017 by stenoodie

Casa Victoria located at 8601 Warden Ave, Unit 4-6 in Markham

On a rather warm afternoon, I had dim sum with Eric to catch up. We went to Casa Victoria as he knew the owner who provided us with a VIP 10% off discount.

I had been to Casa Victoria in the past for a dinner banquet and perhaps dim sum but it had been such a long time that it was obviously a pre-blog outing and I don’t recall my last visit here. Continue reading →
